  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.

Opposition hyperbole;

Perennial favourite Jack Darling as the Eagles most experienced tall didn’t deliver. Kept himself goalless, shaded almost effortlessly by Oscar Allen. 

Jayden Hunt on the other hand was amongst the Eagles best players. Performed like he had a point of prove. The way out west is paved with prolific possessions.

From the director’s chair;

Harry Petty’s move up forward may still be a work in progress, but he is not anywhere near Neitzian stature at this stage. Looks more comfortable under the Lever-May expert tutelage.

Tom MacDonald’s recharge at Casey got him sparking. The Master Chef panel at DL can now breathe easy. Tommy has 🔥’d up the barbecue and is cooking again, rather than been declared ‘cooked’. Bring out the carnivore!

Adjudication;

Get Optus Stadium’s desire to immediately empty itself of so many undesirables (West Coast supporters). But the rush to declare Bayley’s after the siren goal a point deserves a kick up the behind. So blatantly rushed, undignified and wrong. 

Broadcaster’s;

With Fox’s dreamteam of retiree power forwards. The Demon break-out after half-time must have been a relief. It was almost palpable.

Clayton Oliver has a slight lead in the Demonland Player of the Year over Jake Lever and Christian Petracca. Please give us your votes for the Round 4 match against the West Coast Eagles. Your votes please - 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 …

Almost impossible to apply, allocate rankings or competitively indicate this week. Our team has evolved from individual praise on performance to a quality rating based upon linkages and game sustenance between 'groups' (large and small) of players in the process of decapitating an opposition comprehensively. Crowns for best on ground are pluralised in process chains across many increasingly worthy candidates, not just individual beneficiaries.

Fritsch and McDonald can consider themselves unlucky to miss out.

Interested to know what you saw as remarkable in Sparrows game to award him a vote?

I thought it was pretty much meat and three veg type stuff.

I thought Fritsch and Rivers were both great yesterday.  Tracc had a wonderful second half but I'm not sure he was best on over the whole game.

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast.

If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations. About 38 to 40  players down at training.  BBB walking laps.  Charlie Spargo still in rehab, doing short run throughs.  Christian Salem has full kit on and doing individual work with a trainer. He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the
